Product DescriptionThe Mooney Series 20 Pilot is a reversible pressure control regulator designed for use on Mooney Flowgrid* and FlowMax* valves. It can be used for pressure reducing (PRV), backpressure (BPV or Relief), and differential pressure applications. The Series 20 Pilot is designed for both gas and liquid applications.

Series 20 - Brass construction with 3 to 450 psi (0.20 bar - 31 bar) control pressure range.

Series 20H - High pressure brass construction with a 200 to 900 psi (14 bar - 62 bar) control pressure range.

Series 20S - Stainless steel construction with a 3 to 450 (0.20 bar - 31 bar) control pressure range.

Series 20HS - High pressure, stainless steel construction with a 200 to 900 psi (14 bar - 62 bar) control pressure range.

The parts in all constructions are interchangeable. The high pressure constructions (Series 20H and 20HS) differ from the Series 20 and 20S with the addition of a diaphragm spacer assembly that reduces the effective area of the diaphragm and increases the spring range of the black and green springs.

ScopeThis manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Mooney Series 20/20S/20H/20HS Pilots. The manual is divided into the following sections:

General Description (Refer to Figure 1)

Spring Housing (1): The Pilot Spring Housing is provided with a 1/4 inch NPT vent connection which may be piped to a safe area or pressure loaded for remote control of the pressure setting. The Spring Housing may also be pressurized for use in differential pressure control or remote control applications. The Main Spring may be changed by simply removing the Closing Cap (1A).

Body Insert Assembly (2): A removable Body Insert Assembly (cartridge), at the bottom of the Pilot Body, contains the inner valve mechanism. The inner valve is reversible so that the Main Spring will either open the valve (Pressure Reducing mode) or close the valve (Back Pressure or Relief mode). The cartridge may be replaced with a spare unit for fast trouble shooting or repair. The Body Insert Assembly is also field repairable.

Inlet and Loading Ports (3): The INLET port is common with the LOADING port through an internal passage in the pilot. A Restrictor is normally connected directly to the INLET port when used with a Mooney Flowgrid or unloading type regulator. The LOADING port is used to connect and mount the pilot to the loading chamber of the Flowgrid valve to be operated.

Sensing Port (4): The Series 20 Pilot has separate SENSE and OUTLET connections. The SENSE connection is “static” which means that there is no flow in the sensing line and the true pipeline pressure is measured at the diaphragm.

Outlet Port (5): The OUTLET port must be connected to the valve outlet or outlet pressure system. The OUTLET port is also used to connect and mount the pilot to the loading chamber of the Mooney FlowMax valve to be operated. Separate SENSE and OUTLET ports make piping easier and facilitates piping working monitor and standby monitor systems using a variety of piping and control schemes.

Diaphragm Spacer Assembly (6): The addition of this assembly converts the Series 20 & 20S Pilot into the high pressure Series 20H & 20HS. It reduces the pilot diaphragm area and increases the spring range of the black and green springs.

NOTE: The pilot is designed for use with an external restrictor (refer to Principle of Operation Section of this manual). The restrictor may be a needle valve or rotary scratch valve such as the Type 24 Mooney Restrictor and would normally be installed in the pilot Inlet connection (3).

Series 20 Pilot – Unloading and Loading Type Valve Installation

Personal injury, equipment damage, leakage or explosion of accumulated gas or bursting of pressure containing parts may result if this valve/ regulator is overpressured or is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in the specification of this manual or on the nameplate, or where conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping connections. Verify the limitations of valve, pilot and pipeline to ensure no device is overpressured. To avoid such injury or damage, provide pressure relieving or pressure limiting devices (as required by the U.S. code of Federal Regulations, by the National Fire Codes of the National Fire Protection Association, or by other applicable codes) to prevent service conditions from exceeding those limits. Additionally, physical damage to the regulator, pilot, or tubing can cause personal injury and/or property damage due to explosion of accumulated gas. To avoid injury and damage, install the valve in a safe location.

1. PERSONNEL: Installation of the Series 20 Pilot on the Flowgrid Valve or any other manufacture’s valve should be made by qualified personnel familiar with high-pressure piping and Pilot-operated Regulators.

2. PRIOR INSPECTION: Inspect the Pilot for any damage that might have occurred in shipping.

3. CONTROL ACTION: Inspect to make sure the Body Insert Assembly (Cartridge) is in the correct operational mode. Remove the Body Insert Assembly and measure the stem extension from the Body Insert. (Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual - Figure 18 & Figure 20, page 10.)

Pressure Reducing Mode (PRV): the stem extends 0.32 inches (8.12 mm).

Back Pressure Mode (BPV): the stem extends 0.45 inches (11.43 mm).

If incorrect, follow the Body Insert Assembly disassembly and assembly instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.

4. ORIENTATION: The Series 20 Pilot may be installed in any position - the best position being one that provides easiest access for pilot adjustment and valve maintenance.

5. PILOT MOUNTING: Apply pipe dope (thread lubricant/sealing compound) to a short (1-1/2 inch long) 1/4 inch NPT Schedule 80 seamless pipe nipple. For a Mooney Flowgrid the pilot is mounted by connecting the pilot LOADING port to the Mooney Flowgrid spring case load-ing port. For a Mooney FlowMax the pilot is mounted by connecting the pilot OUTLET port to the Mooney Flow-Max actuator loading port. When mounting the Mooney Flowgrid valve it is best if the pilot OUTLET connection is on the same side as the 1/4-inch NPT connections on the valve body. (Refer to the Piping Schematics Page 6).

NOTE: To avoid galling when stainless steel to stainless steel connections are made, use a lubricant (such as NEVER SEEZ® by Bostik). For best results Lightly lubricate the female threads. Mixing the lubricant with pipe dope is also acceptable. When tightening do not exceed more than 1/4 turn past the point the threads start to bind.

6. RESTRICTOR: Mount a rotary scratch type restricting valve (such as the Type 24 Restrictor) to the Inlet port on the Mooney Pilot. (Refer to Piping Schematics Page 6)

7. PILOT SUPPLY LINES: Run a 3/8-inch tubing or 1/4-inch pipe supply line from the upstream piping or from the valve body connection on the inlet side of the valve to the pilot restrictor. The pilot supply connection should have a full and clean opening.

8. A FILTER in the pilot supply line is recommended to remove dirt and other particulates that could affect the restrictor or variable orifice in the pilot. Refer to the Type 30 Filter I/O/M manual for installation instructions.

WARNING

Gas regulators installed in confined or enclosed spaces should be provided with adequate ventilation to prevent the possibility of gas buildup or accumulation from leaks and venting. Leaks or vented gas may accumulate causing personal injury, death, or property damage. Pilot spring cases and the regulator enclosure should be vented to a safe area away from air intakes, or any hazardous location. The vent lines and stacks must be protected against condensation and plugging.

NOTE: For Series 20 pilots, lubricate the adjusting screw with a light, nitrile rubber compatible grease such as Lubriplate #105, or equivalent, at first opportunity, and thereafter, annually and during any interim maintenance.

For Series 20 or 20H pilots (brass), inspect the closing cap for thread wear by verifying the torque required to modify the set point is less than 6 ft-lbs (8.14 Nm) and inspect for metal particles on the adjusting screw or on the closing cap threads. This should be completed at the first opportunity, and thereafter, annually and during any interim maintenance.

The Series 20 pilot with Purple, Black, or White with a Green Stripe have higher tendency to wear due to higher spring pressure. Spring range (color) is indicated on the spring range label located on the pilot.

If it is determined that closing cap thread wear has occurred, it is recommended that the cap and adjusting screw be replaced with a Closing Cap Assembly. For Closing Cap Assembly retro-fit kits, contact your local sales representative for ordering information.

Table 5

Figure 10A paper clip easily extracts the O-Ring out of the pilot body.

MaintenancePilot parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection and replacement of parts depends on severity of service conditions and/or the requirements of local, state, and federal regulations. Be certain that the name plates are updated to accurately indicate any field changes in equipment, materials, service conditions, or pressure settings.

WARNING

Before disassembly make sure the regulator and pilot have been isolated from the process by closing block valves on the inlet and outlet sides of the regulator. Safely release pressure and process fluid from the regulator body and pilot system. Failure to properly complete these steps may result in personal injury and property damage.

1. After depressurizing the pilot and main valve unscrew and remove Body Insert Assembly.

2. Remove the Stem O-ring from the pilot body using a suitable tool and being careful not to scratch the O-ring Groove.

NOTE: A spare Body Insert Assembly may be installed and the regulator returned to service if time is a factor. Make sure the Stem O-Ring is in place in the Pilot Body before installing the new Body Insert Assembly or, if removed, slip a new O-Ring over the Stem of the Body Insert Assembly prior to installing it in the Pilot Body.

Pilot Disassembly - All Series 20 pilots3. Remove the Bottom Cap from the Body Insert and

remove the internal parts. The Orifice Assembly can be easily pushed out of the Body Insert using a heavy paper clip or 0.045” (1.14mm) diameter wire. See Figure 11.

NOTE: Do not scratch or damage the O-Ring sealing surface of the Body Insert.

4. Inspect all parts for wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

NOTE: A shutoff valve is not required in the supply to the pilot, but if one is installed it should be a full opening type.

9. PILOT DISCHARGE UNLOADING TYPE VALVES ONLY: Run 3/8 inch tubing or 1/4 inch pipe from the pilot OUTLET port to the downstream piping or to the connection provided on the outlet of the Mooney Flowgrid valve as shown in the Piping Schematics Section (Page 6).

Standby monitor note: To ensure full capacity of a standby Monitor regulator station, it is important that the pilot discharge of the upstream regulator be connected downstream of the station if the minimum pressure drop (across the entire station) is below 60 psig (4.14 bar).

10. PILOT GAS HEATERS (OPTIONAL): Pilot supply gas can be heated to prevent the formation of ice or hydrates in the pilot system. Pilot supply gas heaters should be connected after the pilot filter (if one is used).

11. CONTROL LINES: Control lines should be run from the SENSE Port of the Mooney Flowgrid or FlowMax Pilot mounted on the valve to a point 8 to 10 pipe diam-eters away from the valve or any other device in the pipeline that can cause turbulence (refer to Piping Schematics).

12. VENT VALVES AND GAUGE CONNECTIONS: Trouble-shooting recommendation. To aid in maintenance and troubleshooting, shut off and vent valves should be installed in tubing connections, and should be of the full open or ball style.

Use Table 5 as a guide for the ideal tubing to use. Reduce as necessary to connect to the pilot.

NOTE: The control line connection should be 8-10 pipe diameters away from areas of turbulence (such as valves, reducers, and elbows) and should have a full opening into the pipe, free from burrs, drill peels, and weld slag. Shutoff valves are not required in the con-trol line(s), but if installed, they should be of the full opening type. The control line connection should be in a section of pipe where the gas velocity is less than 100 ft/s (30m/s) for stability.
